I have been in the market to purchase a new set of in ear headphones under $200. My priorities are:
1.Sound Quality
2.Noise Isolation
3.Comfort
4.Build quality
I'm mainly looking for a clear sounding pair of earphones with good isolation and not extremely bassy.
Setup:
Ipod Touch 4th Generation
No amplification - not wanting to buy
I listen to a lot of modern rock bands with a lot of guitar and 60's rock. Heavy bass earphones are unwanted
Options:
I have been browsing the market and are looking at buying from the US, but would prefer locally bought (Australia- Headphonic).
Some of the earphones I have looked at are:
Head Direct RE0
Great value for money, excellent sound quality and are worth much more than the $99 they are. Read some good reviews and probably my most likely choice so far.
Etymotic HF5
Awesome build quality, sound quality and probably the best isolation headphones from my options. Only low is the price, $159 in Australia but only $100 in US.
Shure SE125
Haven't researched much about them but they look good and read a few positive reviews and are lower in price, $129 in Aus and $100 in US.
Westone UM1
Look like high quality earphones and read some good reviews on their comfort and sound quality, but seen a few problems as well. Price is kind of high, $150 in Aus and $100 in US.
These are some I've been looking at and would like to know some reccomdations and suggestions on some quality in ear headphones for under $200. Pleas reply
